Dark Souls II

Our brief

We were briefed to cast a male performer to take on the role of a character from Dark Souls II. Working at the Eurogamer exhibition, Earls Court. Our performer would be required to wear a full suit of armour, and stay in character while interacting with gamers attending the event.

How we did it

Our biggest challenge was to find a performer with the exact measurements to fit the suit of armour. Fortunately we could rely on our database to run a detailed search of the very specific requirements, and we found our very own knight standing at 6f' 2", with a 42" chest, 33" waist and a 23" head. It was clear the part was made for him, and with vast experience in a variety of costumed roles he was the ideal choice! Over the 4 day event our knight stayed in character, interacted with consumers and even stepped out into London rush hour causing a fair amount of attention!
